The president's speech on Sunday was well-received, though the crowd had to brave some thunder and lightning and endure pouring rain.
One awkward silence came when Obama slightly deviated from his prepared remarks. He was expected to say, "Be the best husband to your wife, or boyfriend to your partner." However, instead, he said "Be the best husband to your wife, or your boyfriend, or your partner," eliciting some clearly confused responses from the crowd.
Later, he noted that Morehouse men can set examples for other groups that have been subjected to discrimination: Hispanics, gays and lesbians, Muslims, and women.
"It is not just the African-American community that needs you. The country needs you. The world needs you. As Morehouse men, many of you know what it's like to be an outsider; know what it's like to be marginalized; know what it's like to feel the sting of discrimination. And that's an experience that a lot of Americans share," he said.
agree with the title of the thread, not the quote used to justify the title.
He should have just said "be faithful to the person you love"or something along those lines, saying husband/partner seems forced.
but glad to see you admit it was a great speech over all.
It was a good speech. Don't know why he had to say something so stupid. At every instance does one need to be inclusive? How many Morehouse Men are homosexual 1%?
